SPEAKING ABOUT PORTRAITS.
From an interview of Molly Landreth, on the Making Pictures of People website:
"There is something about the lens, the film, and the image floating upside down and onto the surface of the ground glass on my 4x5 camera that fills me with joy every time I take a portrait. I love darkening the world around me by throwing the black cape over my head so I’m left with only the image of the person in front of me. (…)I love that the act of creating a portrait is deeply connected to a history of representation, visibility and memory. By making meaningful portraits of a diverse group of people who have been consistently censored and misrepresented, I can contribute to this history in a critical and personal way."

Talking about Taking Pictures of People.
An amazing online project.
With a lot of inspiring thoughts put into carefully chosen words.
An awful lot to look up to, in terms of writing about portraiture.
With a portfolio and brilliantly conducted interview of one of my favourite photographer (who never answered my Photography-Love letters to him, but who knows, maybe one day, the man is busy):
